Can someone advise the best way to mirror on an itanium system running hpux?

Assuming those links are still valid, they should explain the process on Itanium architecture.

Pete, what I dislike on this link is - this is for 11.22 (with only 2 partitions).
But what I like is to run

# lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
# lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
# lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
# lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2

instead of
lvlnboot -R.

Greg, make sure to use

# cat </tmp/partitionfile
> 3
> EFI 500MB
> HPUX 100%
> HPSP 400MB
> EOF

(or something similar) to create 3 partitions.
